Santa Lucia
There are many advantages to having human beans write this blog. One key perk: getting to sing the songs of the cats too humble to toot their own trumpets. Behold the bashful beauty that is Lucia.
Five days away
Vacation is good. Being with family? Molto good. But being away from the Tabby’s Place cats for five days is distinctly sub-good. Good heavens, it’s grand to be home.
The shy black cats of Suite C
It’s inevitable. At least once a week, during the course of a tour of Tabby’s Place, a wide-eyed visitor will ask me, “Do you really know all of the cats’ names?” I understand their surprise – 100+ cats is a lot. But do you really know all of your friends and family members’ names? I’ll […]
Christmas with the cats
Merry Christmas, beloved Felis Catus community. It’s my deepest prayer that, today, each of you would feel the full force of God’s huge love for you. I believe with all my heart that the cats, and their love, are a glorious reflection of that very love that is their Source. And, in the Christmas spirit, they […]

But we know it’s just that mellow goofball of the Community Room, Mr. Grey, having a bit of fun with his […]
Leader of the band
It can be a lot of pressure having a band named after you. If anything were to happen to Bruce Springsteen, for instance, his crew would become simply “and the E Street Band.” Bob Marley’s passing left his band as simply “and the Wailers.” And if anything should happen to Dave Matthews, his band would […]
Sibling revelry
When you’re a teenage guy, it doesn’t exactly raise your “cool factor” to call your sister your BFF. But that doesn’t stop Chandler. On the other hand, Monica is a bit more embarrassed about letting the world know how much she digs her twin bro.
Under the couch and dreaming
We presently have a litter of kittens named after members of the Dave Matthews Band, who would surely appreciate this post’s title – but it isn’t about them. No, it’s about the way a terrified cat’s under-the-couch-time can be time well spent.
